TAC recognizes Indigenous Peoples' Day. Historically and today, Indigenous people face greater and multiple barriers to treatment for severe mental illness. All people deserve access to quality, trauma- and culturally-informed mental health care.

Today TAC joins the the CEO Alliance for Mental Health and our various partners in recognizing #WorldMentalHealthDay. Together, we stand for more and better access to treatment for people living with mental health and substance use challenges. #WMHD #TreatmentBeforeTragedy

This Mental Illness Awareness Week 2024, TAC acknowledges the profound suffering caused by untreated severe mental illness. We serve the most vulnerable members of the SMI community and their families, and we won't stop until treatment is accessible and available to all who need it most. #MIAW

A large percentage of people with SMI do not respond, or imperfectly respond, to existing medication. This drug is the first novel medication in 70 years, working in a completely different way than others. We must continue to push for more investment like this in finding new treatments for those affected by SMI. https://lnkd.in/enBGUAzF

Clozapine can be life-saving for treatment-resistant schizophrenia, but it's underused due to a rare side effect and burdensome testing to prevent that side effect.
